NGC 1624, also known as Sh2-212apparent diameter is about 3.0 arc minutes.[4] Its celestial location is right ascension (α) 04h 40m 36.0s and declination (δ) +50° 27′ 42″.[1]
It is potentially an area of massive star formation.[5]
According to
Robert Trumpler
's classification of open clusters, this cluster contains fewer than 50 stars (letter p) with a high concentration (I) and whose magnitudes are distributed over an average interval (number 2). The letter n at the end (I2pn) means that the cluster is inside a nebula.
